Linguists estimate that at least half of the world’s estimated 7,000 spoken languages will become extinct by the century’s end, due to forces ranging from globalization to cultural assimilation. Part of the challenge of documenting and revitalizing endangered languages is a lack of texts and speech recordings to work with. Seneca, a language of one of the six Iroquois Nations in North America, has only about 100 first-language speakers and several hundred more second-language learners. Automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology is widely used to transcribe languages with millions or billions of speakers, like English and Mandarin. But it has only scratched the surface with languages like Seneca, which have vastly fewer speakers and significantly less data to work with. Now a team of researchers at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York, along with colleagues from the University at Buffalo, is tapping deep learning to bolster the ability of ASR. And while its … [Read more...] about How Deep Learning Is Aiding Preservation of Seneca and Other Endangered Languages

Zuly Gonzalez and Beau Adkins worked in the digital trenches at the National Security Agency for more than a decade.Gonzalez designed computer protection systems and Adkins figured out how to penetrate such barriers. Their light bulb moment came when they decided to apply their expertise to the commercial sector and founded their company, Light Point Security."We kind of melded both his offensive mindset of hacking and attacking and my mindset of defending. He knew how easy it was to hack and get into networks," Gonzalez said. "So we basically thought about what would it take to really stop Beau from getting into a computer."Numerous businesses in Maryland's growing cybersecurity industry were founded by former government workers or government contractors, and count such workers among their current and prospective employees.The state's proximity to Washington and its concentration of federal workers, especially those working in intelligence, security or defense roles, has created a … [Read more...] about Maryland’s federal workforce offers state a source of cyber entrepreneurs
